Just in case you have a private blog in which you want any readers who want to comment on your blog to be registered and logged in first, here is the simple steps if you are using wordpress.com or Wordpress 2.7 for self-hosted wordpress blog.

1. Login to your wp admin

2. Click Setting -> Discussion ->

3. At the Submenu “Other comment settings”, check the “Users must be registered and logged in to comment”

4 Click “Save Changes” at the bottom. Done.

When I try to open this blog a few hours ago, the Firefox browser send this error message: “Content Encoding Error. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.” I tried again several times, it still send the same error messages.

So, I looked for such case at Mozilla Firefox forum. Several responses with various solutions are offered. The one which works fine for me is this: “Cleare up private data, cache and cookies.”

On how to clear up the private date, cache and cookies on Firefox see here for details.

If the above solution doesn’t work for you, see here for more.

Oh one more thing, this problem after I upgrade the mozilla firefox browser into Mozilla 3.0. Is this firefox 3.0 the main problem? I am not sure.

First, this blog feedburner’s feeds URL address is http://feeds.feedburner.com/fatihsyuhud.

Second, after Feedburner.com being acquired by Google, the URL address changed into http://feedproxy.google.com/fatihsyuhud

Third, the second address seems ugly, Google think so I guess, so now comes the third shift of URL change: http://feeds2.feedburner.com/fatihsyuhud.

The change to all my feedburner feed comes few hours ago with email from Google notifying this:

You may now view and manage all of your feeds and their settings by visiting this address: http://feedburner.google.com

You will no longer be able to sign in to feedburner.com, but that’s okay: from now on, there is no reason to do so. Also, your old FeedBurner feeds, found at feeds.feedburner.com, will automatically redirect traffic to their new addresses on the feeds2.feedburner.com domain. You may still want to update any links or buttons on your website to use the new feeds2.feedburner.com address.

All of your feeds have been moved into this new account, and your stats have been loaded up. If you see “0″ for the most recent full day, don’t panic! It may take up to a week for a feed’s full dose of stats to appear in your new account.
Getting Started with AdSense for feeds

To set up AdSense for feeds, you now need to visit AdSense at http://www.google.com/adsense and choose the AdSense for feeds option under Manage Ads > Get Ads. (Ads won’t appear in your feeds unless you set up new ad units for them there.) You may also visit the AdSense for feeds section of the Google AdSense Help Center.

A Note for Publishers Who Use Email Subscriptions

feedburner.google.com has a more robust email subscription management feature; you may now search your entire subscriber base to locate subscribers and view their status, regardless of whether you have 100 or 100,000 of them. Visit Publicize > Email Subscriptions > Subscription Management to try it out.

So, if you got email from Google Feedburner like the one above, just go straight over to change your feedburner feed new url address. So should I.

Sex in prehistoric oceans was likely quite common, a new study says. It was previously unknown whether long-ago sea creatures laid eggs that were fertilized outside the body or engaged in internal fertilization, aka sex. more

Cosmetic surgery: ‘Appalling examples of unprofessional conduct’
Consumer group CHOICE has exposed the seedy side of the cosmetic surgery industry and the tricks some doctors use to promote their services.

In a recently released study, three would-be patients tested thirty surgeons in Brisbane and Sydney.

CHOICE’s Christopher Zinn said the main problem was that patients were often not adequately informed of the risks they faced.

According to Mr Zinn, one woman was offered a $1700 discount if she allowed ‘before and after’ photos to be published to the internet.

Another patient was told she would have a better chance of finding a boyfriend if she got breast implants.

In the West or any country with predominantly white people, breast surgery is in vogue because that’s White women’s problem. In ASEAN, with mongoloid faces, nose surgery is a sell out among women.

What do you use Twitter for? Asks guardian.co.uk. Many interesting responses outthere. So far as I am concerned, I barely use twitter manually. I use it automatically as a way to add my blogs traffics.

Social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace and Friends Reunited have taken over from pubs and nightclubs. Can you believe it?
One in four British people are dating – or have dated – someone they met through online community websites.

And over a third have got back in touch with an old flame through the sites.

One in ten have even had gone a step further and had an affair or a one-night stand with someone they met via a social networking site.

A spokesman for internet market research company www.OnePoll.com, which carried out the study, said: “Traditionally the pub used to be a central meeting place where many couples met across the bar and got to know each other.

“Now social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace have taken over as the dating hot spot with many singletons finding love online.

“The websites also seem to be a breeding ground for rekindling old romances and the results also show that many affairs begin by tracing ex-lovers too.”
